Steamboat Springs Alpine Slide, Steamboat Springs

Take the family for a ride down Steamboat Springs Alpine Slide, where a chairlift takes you to the top of the historic Howelsen Hill, providing far-reaching views of downtown Steamboat Springs. As you go down 730 m (2,400 ft), you'll be able to control the sled at your desired speed--this is a good activity for kids (younger than 6 must go with their parents). Check the website for opening dates and times.

The ride up to the slide was nice and relaxing. However, the slides themselves were really SLOW! My husband and I both went down with young kids and our 9 year old alone. All three of us has the stick forward as far as it goes and we still had parts where we were scouting along. Price and service was great though. Plus they donate proceeds to local organizations. That's enough for me to continue to support this organization.

It was fun but seems a bit overpriced for the 15 minutes total of riding up there, waiting in line and somewhat slowly sliding down (it wasn't nearly as fast as we thought it would be). Still, it was okay... I'm unsure if we would do again BUT if you haven't done it's probably worth if it's something you wanted to do. Kids enjoyed it regardless!

This would be a great slide to bring your kids. It's not too fast, but still fun.

A real hit and miss, depending on which 'sled' you get. I literally had to pull myself along using the sides of the track. Once the person behind me came zooming up, I had to get off the track to let them pass, so that their money wasn't wasted too.
